WaPo Reporter Responds To All The Criticism Of Front-Page Obama Muslim Piece
Edited on Thu Nov-29-07 06:53 PM by EV_Ares
I haven't got an email back yet but sent one to him this morning and sent a text msg to Obama'HQ here. A total BS hit piece and nothing about Rudy's little fiasco.

Okay, the Washington Post reporter who wrote today's front page article on the rumors that Obama is a Muslim has now responded to all the criticism of the piece he's been getting from readers and elsewhere today.

A number of you have written in to us to say that you had emailed the reporter, Perry Bacon, Jr., and that you had received responses from him. So I went to Bacon, and he sent over a shortened version of the statement he's been sending back to readers:

I thought the facts that 1. these falsehoods persist and 2. Obama make mentions of his time living in a Muslim country on the campaign trail as part of his foreign policy were both worth remarking. I think the story makes clear, including in the candidate's own words, he is a Christian.
Anyway, that's Bacon's response. Enter it into the record forthwith.
